2024 Map of McDowell

USGS Topo · Published 2024

About this map

The Tombigbee River and the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway dominate this West Alabama landscape where the boundaries of Sumter, Greene, and Marengo counties meet. The map reveals a river-driven geography characterized by numerous sandbars and bends, including Mussel Shoals Bar, Rattlesnake Bend, and Arringtons Bar. Settlement patterns are concentrated near the higher ground, with the communities of Belmont and Brownstown serving as local anchors. For those interested in local history, the map identifies several family and community burial sites such as Pinetop Cem, Taylor Cem, and Davidson Cem. The presence of the McDowell Ferry near the town of McDowell highlights the historical importance of river crossings before modern infrastructure fully bypassed these traditional transit points. Further south, the map details the expansive waters of Lake Demopolis and Prouts Lake, illustrating how the waterway system has reshaped the local environment.
